When a large department store was opening up in our city, I applied as one of the people to stock and set up the new store, sometimes putting in 17 hour days. Talking to managers and maintaining a good attitude and great working habits was key; the managers actually asked me to apply for full time work. I ended up opening their bridal department and spending five years with them — I only stopped my upwardly mobile trend with them because I moved away.

Most people on the floor thought I was a manager, but I actually made more money as an hourly employee. My manager basically had me running our department, including scheduling and training. It was a great job.

All part-time jobs can turn into opps for your career if you want it to be, because it’s all a network opportunity. Every company is always looking for really great employees. Be a great employee, and they’ll want you.

I applied at a local bookstore to earn some money in between my seasonal job. After a few weeks, I found that I really enjoyed it, so I let the hiring manager know that, and she let me know of a permanent position that I could have. Never hurts to be enthusiastic about a job that you like!

At 43 I went back to the local community college to retrain and (hopefully)start a new career as a computer tech.

After 2 semesters I managed to get in as a part time, minimum wage student worker, in the ITS division.

After completing my classes an opening in the support dept. opened up and I applied for the job and believe I got it due to my pleasent attitude and, more importantly, they knew my work skills after watching me for a year.

Never be afraid to start at the bottom. Now 8 years later I am very happy in my choice. Wasn’t always easy at my late age working for the minimum wage, but with proper money mgt. it can work out for the best.

Five years ago I left a career and was hired in mid December in retail as a sales clerk at a national chain. I had no attendance issues, stayed on the sales floor, was extra polite and helpful to all and a month later, was asked to stay on in full time sales. A year after that, I became a department manager. What seem to impress management the most following by few weeks of seasonal work was the number of credit applications I opened for customers. That was the main thing that got their attention.
